This is a short easy video tutorial on how to exclude files and folders from Norton Anti-Virus Auto Protection and Manual Scans.
I recently downloaded a .zip file containing a large number of obscure file extensions and Norton lost its mind! IT quickly began auto removing everything. They were all "low-level" risks, but I had to manually undue each file... and there were over 100. Needless to say that wasn't fun.
The best thing to do in these cases is to make a "i know this shit is safe" folder somewhere on your computer and add that folder and all its subfolders and files to the exclusion list for manual scans and the auto protection feature. That is what I am going to show you how to do in this tutorial.
I figured I would make this tutorial because I couldn't find any up-to-date information on how to do it. It's 2016 and there should be a tutorial on youtube by now right??

Now scroll down to the "Exclusions / Low Risks".
There are two options we want to focus on. The "Items to Exclude from Scans" and the "Items to Exclude from Auto-Protect SONAR and Download Intelligence Detection".
Click configure for whichever one fits your needs. I added my exclusion folder to both lists just to be sure.
